Some Ideas Included In This Booklet; First Things First - Addi Addinet Handbuch

Here's how
Hairpin lace crocheting is an old handicraft with which decorative borders and
ribbons are made. For some time now, it has become increasingly popular, as
even beginners can create exciting accessories in just a short amount of time.
For example, easy to crochet borders can be sewn or crocheted together into
larger pieces.
These delicate borders produced from the hairpin lace loom have a long tradi-
tion as decoration for traditional clothing in German-speaking countries called
"Trachten". Special Trachten yarn is available at speciality retailers, but you
can also select your own materials. The important thing is to use the proper
crochet needles.
Fashionable scarves and handkerchiefs are always modern and timeless. Or
perhaps you'll crochet your own, individual pieces to add a personalised
accent to clothing, bags and much more.
Extra Value
With three instead of two needles the addinet enables you to craft asymmetrical
borders and ribbons. The loops on both sides of the border have different
lengths. Therefore you will create new patterns, which can be used for the
instructions 7 to 10.

First things first

If you want to begin a new project or remove a finis-
hed project from the addiNet hairpin lace loom, hold the
addi knitting needles at the heart with one hand and
hold the bar with the other. Then you can simply and
securely pull the needle downward from the bar.
